Message ~ "Humans are Free"
1. The Shadow card gives the overall meaning of the reading and highlights the problems and concerns pointing to the reasons why we're experiencing what we're experiencing at the present time.
It depicts a very wealthy individual who has everything they need with a healthy disregard for others and out of fear, greed or power issues, solely concerned with amassing as much as they can for themselves and basically, to hell with you.
This card can also represent individuals, financial systems and governments.
2. The Past represents a period of Innocence and trust which, I believe, is now a "thing of the past." This would be laughable if only it weren't so painfully true.
3. The Present shows we're not out of the woods, yet and to prepare for more sh*t heading our way. The meaning of this card is an unexpected event(s); destruction; mayhem; chaos and massive change.
4. The Destination Card is more optimistic as the King of Wands means "taking matters into our own hands"; finding the courage to deal with things; overcoming and, a "changing of the guard" maybe a collective attitude change or could also represent an individual.
5. The Hidden Card is The VIII of Cups and another optimistic card showing we're walking away from things that don't serve us anymore; we've done a re-evaluation of where we are and where we want to go and choosing a different path. One much more conducive to what "we want" not somebody else's.
6. The Advice Card IX of Cups has so many shadow meanings attached to it but only the ones concerning the reading are to be interpreted.
It shows a well to do individual who is very disappointed, maybe due to shattered dreams, even suicidal as he is drinking an elixer of some sort possibly representing a drug overdose, the bloody meat represents his healthy disrespect for life and others (only his own) and the dimly lit moon in the background represents the false illusion he has been living under. He has only been concerned with his own well being, having enough to eat and enough financial resources to live comfortably. However, this is all shattering.
He could be in the midst of a divorce, a grave health issue or a financial loss in which he could lose everything or maybe he is waking up from the illusion he's been under.
This card advises us to take stock of where we are, right now. Think on those things that are really important in our lives such as our health, our families, our communities and learning to show love, compassion and respect for one another and how easily all of this can be taken from us.
These things are everlasting whereas material and temporary things such as how much money we have, how we look and dress, how many influential and well off friends we have and how big our house is, do not.
7. The Outcome Card is the IV of Wands another very optimistic card. It means a union of equal forces (an intersection where everybody stops together, allowing the first car at the intersection to proceed first and then the second car and so on and so on) direction and cooperation indicated by the four corners, stability and a firm foundation).
Also, a well earned harvest of peace, prosperity and harmony.
We're heading into a whole new way of living and understanding on this planet but not without having to endure more trials.
I have no idea what these are going to be just an understanding as the cards have indicated, that they will manifest and we will, again, be forced to confront them.
The numerical value of this reading is: 5 ~ instability; conflict; loss and change leading to a more harmonious outcome
